    Carrie Sweeney standing to the right behind a table of her creations. There are butterflies encased in intricate wooden frames; a fox skull surrounded by orange, brown, and beige flowers typically found in a meadow encased in a glass dome; another glass dome with a butterfly on a mushroom; a lichen-covered fox skull; The Moon tarot card; and glass vials of butterfly wings with moss. There is also a magnifying glass, a small rabbit figurine, and a circle of wood also on display.
